Cpf1 is a single RNA-guided endonuclease of a class 2 CRISPR-Cas system.

TLDR
In this paper, the authors characterized Cpf1, a putative class 2 CRISPR effector, which is a single RNA-guided endonuclease lacking tracrRNA and utilizes a T-rich protospacer-adjacent motif.

Structure of the miniature type V-F CRISPR-Cas effector enzyme.

TL;DR: Cryo-electron microscopy structure of Cas12f1 (also known as Cas14a) in complex with a guide RNA and its target DNA revealed that two Cas 12f1 molecules assemble with the single guide RNA to recognize the double-stranded DNA target, thereby explaining how the miniature Cas12 f1 enzyme achieves RNA-guided DNA cleavage as an "asymmetric homodimer."

CRISPR-Cas12a/Cpf1-assisted precise, efficient and multiplexed genome-editing in Yarrowia lipolytica

TL;DR: The CRISPR-Cpf1 system is optimized and achieved high-editing efficiency for two counter-selectable markers in the industrially-relevant oleaginous yeast Yarrowia lipolytica and the toolkit is expanded to edit three sulfur house-keeping genetic markers, which confers yeast distinct colony color changes due to the formation of PbS (lead sulfide) precipitates.

Robust CRISPR/Cpf1 (Cas12a)-mediated genome editing in allotetraploid cotton (Gossypium hirsutum).

TL;DR: This is the first report of the application of the CRISPR/Cpf1 system for cotton genome editing with a very high efficiency (87%) and no off- target effects were detected in the most potential off-target sites.

Gapped BLAST and PSI-BLAST: a new generation of protein database search programs.

TL;DR: A new criterion for triggering the extension of word hits, combined with a new heuristic for generating gapped alignments, yields a gapped BLAST program that runs at approximately three times the speed of the original.

Fast and accurate short read alignment with Burrows–Wheeler transform

TL;DR: Burrows-Wheeler Alignment tool (BWA) is implemented, a new read alignment package that is based on backward search with Burrows–Wheeler Transform (BWT), to efficiently align short sequencing reads against a large reference sequence such as the human genome, allowing mismatches and gaps.

MUSCLE: multiple sequence alignment with high accuracy and high throughput

TL;DR: MUSCLE is a new computer program for creating multiple alignments of protein sequences that includes fast distance estimation using kmer counting, progressive alignment using a new profile function the authors call the log-expectation score, and refinement using tree-dependent restricted partitioning.

A programmable dual-RNA-guided DNA endonuclease in adaptive bacterial immunity.

TL;DR: This study reveals a family of endonucleases that use dual-RNAs for site-specific DNA cleavage and highlights the potential to exploit the system for RNA-programmable genome editing.
